Western Australia Police are investigating a case of IP telephony fraud which saw three Perth businesses faced with a combined bill exceeding some $70,000.

The WA Police technology crime investigation unit said that fraudulent international calls were made over the businesses' Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks after their networks were hacked.

WA Police Sergeant Graham Clifford said VoIP fraud has cost Perth businesses tens of thousands of dollars.

"Attacks usually occur over weekends in order to maximise the amount of time the breaches will go unnoticed," Clifford said. "By the time business owners return to the office on Monday or after a long weekend, the damage has already been done."
